Backing Cards for Quick Game Stats


Not yet, but soon Hawk Wargames will be introducing something new that no one is talking about to their blister packs, called backing cards. This is the next step in logical product enhancements for Dropzone Commander, as these backing cards will come with all the stats you need for the models you are buying.


Think of it this way, when you buy a blister in Dropzone, they come with exactly the numbers you need for a squad of the models you are buying, matching up exactly to the number of dropships you also get in a blister. For example... Wolverines come 4 to a pack, and that is also the number of models you need to field them. To give them dropships, you need to two Raven B light dropships, and when you buy a blister of of Raven B dropships, they come two to a pack.

Soon, with each blister having a popout backing card as part of the packaging...... you will have your entire list on backing cards, meaning your entire rooster for a game just by buying the models. Now for those of us that are already in the game, they will have mini expansion packs available.

These backing cards will come with every blister as a pop out, and will just be a part of the packaging. Innovation at its finest in my opinion. A really cool add on, for a game that is growing fast. Players will very easily have their entire roosters on cards, that can give you very quick access to the rules of your units without ever opening a book. This will improve gameplay.

The last note I have on these, is that when these start coming, Hawk Wargames will be sending new backing cards to distributors for models they already have on hand. This just demonstrates a plan that gets put in place is very comprehensive when new products are released.
